Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) sure is
going all out to try and turn the company around after their recent
disappointing results regarding their products. An upgraded version of its
mobile management software was released by RIM on Thursday. This a conscious
move on the part of the company so that users are prepared for a "simple
and straightforward upgrade" to the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10
release that is expected early next year.

The BlackBerry Mobile Fusion 6 Service Pack 2
upgrade introduced today will include gatekeeping software designed to only
allow mobile devices deemed compliant by IT shops to access Microsoft
ActiveSync installations as well as other standard features. Existing customers
can avail this exciting upgrade for free.

ActiveSync configurations for Android devices
that support Motorola Enterprise Device Management software will be supported
by this upgrade. Mobile Fusion has been developed for the aid of IT shops, so
that they can securely manage iOS, Android and BlackBerry devices. RIM has
introduced this tool as an initiative so that they can move mobile management
capabilities beyond its own BlackBerry platform.

RIM will also unveil two new BlackBerry 10
smartphones and the BlackBerry 10 OS on 30th January of next year.
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 has been so named by the company because it
represents its next-generation BlackBerry Enterprise Server, a product still
widely used by organizations worldwide to manage secure wireless connections.

A blog post made by RIM regarding the update,
doesn’t talk in details about the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, although a
spokeswoman clarified that the upgrade is to facilitate the transition to a
newer advanced version termed as the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.
